What a great time. The speculation about the place being over crowded - false. It was so chill in there, plenty of room to dance if you knew were to look. Bar was open and flowing. The "no smoking (anything!)" rule was well, not in effect at all. Crowd was a bit talkative, but the "shhh" enforcers were in full effect (THANKS GUYS!).

Regarding the music - this band can PLAY. Ramble on Rose and Half Step were a great start. Got a little slow after that, but I really enjoyed Masterpiece and then U.S. Blues. The last 4 songs rocked. Birdsong was very well done and Stephen > NFA > Rider blew the roof off the place. Was very glad/lucky to have attended this show. To think that I've seen Phil at venues like MSG (and will see him with Further at Barclays center) made this extra sweet.

For those who keep track, show started at about 9:40 and went 'till 12:20 or so. Got a sweet poster ($25) to remember this special show. To those who are casting off on tonight's cruise, stay dry and rock on.

The Iridium in NYC does webcasting perhaps Phil would consider playing there? The New Riders are playing there on June 30th so not such a stretch...?
